  1. …ask ko lng po gaano katagal ung itatagal nung malunggay leaves powder after mamanufacture???thanx po…

  2. Lailanie,

    The shelf life of a product needs to be evaluated by a laboratory. For example, if you manufacture Virgin Coconut Oil, you have to submit samples to the Philippine Coconut Authority, pay the necessary fees, and they will study it. They will take note of the condition of your product every period. Lets say, every month. This way, they’ll be able to note the changes in the quality of your product every month.
    They will give you a report of their study.

    The same goes with malunggay powder. I’m just not sure, which government agency handles this kind of study. You could check with maybe, BFAD or DOST.

    Good Luck.

  14. good afternoon. . . .ahm. . . .we just want to ask. . . .if we can still use malunggay polvoron as a main subject of our study on our thesis? . . . .eventhough there’s already an existing product made by others. . . . .thank you. . . .God bless. . . ^.^

  15. michael

    I think it’s possible. Just give it a twist like dipping your polvoron in melter chocolate. Sell them and see how it fares as compared to your pure malunggay flavored polvoron.

    good luck!

  24. Hello everyone. We are starting a large-scale planting of malunggay in the island of Alabat (Quezon Prov). We are looking for suppliers of malunggay seeds. Our plan is to buy seeds up to 500 kilos (or more if the price is affordable). If you could supply, please contact us at alabat.livelihood@yahoo.com.ph or by voice/text at 0928-781-6784. Many thanks!

  25. ask ko lang ilang days dapat patuyuin ang malungay bago kainin? tnx po

  26. Manny,

    if you sun dry the leaves, according to an article in Agriculture magazine about a certain producer in Metro Manila, it takes them 18 hours of sun drying. A friend of mine says 2 weeks, for me, 1 week is enough because I finish it off with baking. When I bake bread, I include a tray of malunggay. It really depends on the manner of drying. For me, drying directly under the sun is no good.

    I air dry the malunggay at the terrace under shade for 3 to 4 days then oven roasting(?) Maybe you could even roast it like what you do with pinipig in a pan.

    cris

  27. hi madam gud pm,ok lang ba sa oven toaster i dry ang malungay after 4 days sa air dry

  28. Manny,

    Ok rin siguro basta madali lang kasi di ba masyado namang maliit yung distance ng light sa plate ng oven toaster.

    I try mo rin manny na ibusa sa kawali. Kasi yun ang ginagawa ko sa sili. Sun dry then toast sa pan. try mo, baka puede. Tapos, puede paki share mo uli kung ano ang nagyari para mas maraming tao ang makinabang sa info. Salamat.

    cris

  29. hi maam cris….i am amaze of the nutritional benefits

    of moringa.i am a nurse and will be working at the school.i may know how to make a puree.i wanted to the children from malnutrition.

    tnx a lot.
    cleo

  30. The recommended drying process is AIR DRYING.This means, you want to put them under the shade, , and not directly exposed to the sun.

    A number of heat-sensitive nutrients are lost when the leaves are exposed to direct sun light, while air-drying only removes the water content from the leaves.

    When drying using an oven, make sure that you don’t shut the doors close. Leave a gap of 5-7 cm to draw the moisture out.

    Okay din kung tapatan ninyo ng electric fan or blower to keep the air circulating.

    Kung sarado naman ang oven, mas mabilis syang matuyo pero kailangan nyong bantayan mabuti.

  31. By the way, kung walang oven at nagmamadali. Puwede ring initin gamit ang kawali.

    Pero mas maganda kung na-air-dry na, bago i-finish with the oven or kawali.

  32. hi ms. cristina.. buti nakita ko blogsite mo. very informative. plan ko kasi ihalo yung malunggay leaves sa ibat ibang beverage mixes. kaya need ko yung mga infos. thanks…

    p.s.
    malalasahan pa ba ung pait pag powder form cya or mejo subtle na?

    • ejay,

      subtle na ang taste pag dried. yes, you may use for beverages like smoothies/shakes.

      good luck.

      cris

  33. hi madam gud am,grabe ung power ng dried malungay,malaki ang naitulong sa akin,ipinatigil na ng doktor ung eye drop ko,dahil bumuti ang pressure ng mata ko,dahilan nwala ang inflamation na nag cause ng glaucoma,lumakas ang immune system ko,ito rin ngaun ang itinuturo ko sa mga anak ko.maraming salamat.

    • Manny,

      Salamat naman at nakita mo na ang mabuting resulta. Maaari bang i promote mo na rin sa mga kaibigan, kamag-anak, atbp ang kabutihan ng malunggay? Ito sana ang gusto kong ipahatid na mensahe sa ating mga kababayan na ang simpleng malunggay ay napakaraming kabutihan na maibibigay sa atin. Nutrisyon, at natural na panglunas sa ating mga nararamdaman sa katawan. Ang sakit daw ay naug uumpisa kung ang ating immune system ay humihina dahil hindi na makalaban ang ating katawan sa mga umaatake sa ating kalusugan.

      Ngayon, kahit na medyo may edad na tayo, atin itong ipaalam sa ating mga anak para naman ipagpatuloy nila ang pagpaparami ng malunggay upang makatulong din sa kanilang kalusugan. Isang magandang pamana ang isang kaalaman.

  34. pwede rin iluto ang malunggay bago dikdikin lalo n if gamit sa beverage dried frying parang sinangag na bigas wag lang sunog.. tnx

    • oo nga nel. puede nga.

  35. after harvest, puwede po ba hugasan un malunggay, bago for drying up? thanks po

    • oo wash first. it’s better to wash with soft water. if not available, cooled boiled water will do.

  36. hi madam,isa pa sa mga nkabenefit ng dried malunggay na ginawa ko ay mother in law..she was 84yrs old.nkatulong sa kanya ung tsaa na nagbigay sa kanya ng kaluwagan sa digestion, para mawala ang kanyang diarhea. at pati ung hipag ko na sobrang negative sa lahat ng supplement ngustuhan iyon lang daw ang ngustuhan nya.power ang malunggay..

    • totoo talaga manny. Power talaga ang malunggay. para sa akin base sa aking karanasan sa pag inom ng malunggay tumutulong ang mga sustansiyang nakukuha natin sa malunggay na ibalik ang mga nauubos at nagagamit nating naka lagak sa ating katawan. kung maubos na ang mga sustansyang naipon natin sa ating katawan mula ng bata pa tayo, dyan tayo nagkakasakit.

      Moringa is replenishing the nutrients that were depleted in our body. I also recommend this to middle age couples. Both the husband and wife should drink it because both of them will regain lost strength. even a teaspoon of moringa powder everyday will produce improvement in married life.

  37. gud day! ang dami kong info na nakuha from u. kahit nandito ako sa ibang bansa matagal na akong nagbabalak na magtanim ng malunggay dahil alam ko ang benefits nyan. gagawin ko yung mga powder nayan. salamat

  38. hi madam,sa ilang buwan ko pa lang na gumamit ng dried malunggay,marami na ang naikwento ng wife ko sa trabaho nya tungkol sa malunggay,marami sa knila ang gustong bumilli ng dried malunggay upang ipatikim sa mga anak nila na hindi kumakain ng gulay.as of now ipinasusubok ko muna sa knila ang dried malunggay,upang mkita nila ang benepisyo ng malunggay sa katawan ntin,at ito rin ngaun ang pinag kaka abalahan ng utol ko na tinamaan ng depression na labis na nagpahirap sa kanya na hindi makatulog,na magbubunga ng pagkasira ng ulo. sa ngaun awa nman unti unti nang nakakarekober upang mag umpisa bumalik sa kanyang trabaho..power ang malunggay…maraming salamat sa ganitong napakahalagang impormasyon..lalo na ngaun marami ang tunay na nangangailangan,,at sa laganap na kahirapan

    • salamat din manny sa pag-share mo sa experience niyo. Good luck

  39. Salamat sa blogs nyo. Has anyone tried making smoothies or ice cream using the fresh malunggay leaves? Pashare naman po. Ano po ang pwedeng imix na fruit or other vegies pra bumuti ang lasa. Thanks.

    • Ang mga students ng University of Cebu-Lapulapu-Mandaue campus ay nanalo sa isang contest ng mga new business ideas dito sa cebu. Ang contest na ito ay sponsored ny Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Ang kanilang proposal? Malunggay ice ream na gumamit ng fresh malunggay. Natikman ko ito pero di lang masyadong malasahan ng malunggay. i try mong gumawa ng ice cream with fresh malunggay juice. Baka ma swertehan mop ang sekreto.

      Sa smoothies, may mga gumagamit ng dried malunggay pero sigurado akong puedeng puede rin ang fresh. good luck
